Angullong Fossil Hill Tempranillo 2023

This famous Spanish variety, most especially at home in the Rioja region, continues to forge a niche here in Australia. Maturation is in French oak for a year with around 20% of that oak new. Bruised plum/dark cherry in colour, the nose offers aromas of freshly unearthed root vegetables, warm flesh, cranberries, beef stock, cloves, tomato bushes and coffee grinds. The wine has excellent persistence to through fine, satiny tannins and there is good focus throughout. Enjoy this over the next eight years. This really is one of the better local Tempranillos of late and it would be absolutely ideal for your next gourmet barbeque.
